So this is not actually a topic we talk about much on our blog. But it is relevant and a personal choice for some people to only use gluten free cosmetics and lotions.

So why would someone choose to do this?

Well, I know it sounds silly but there can be accidental consumption. If cross contamination in a deep fryer would cause harm, is it fair to say that lipstick containing gluten could accidentally be digested? Or eating a finger food after using a lotion that contains gluten?

Recently, I have been thinking about what's next with Gluten Free Edmonton? I have been doing this for 8 years already.

What can I do next to get people engaged?

I'm already on Facebook, Twitter and more recently trying to grow an Instagram following.

I would love to get on YouTube, do shopping tours, demo products etc. But really, I have a full time job already leading a national healthcare organizations digital experience. I just don't have the time, because after work, I love spending time with my family.

So now what? How do I grow our community? Which got me thinking. I know Facebook is not for everyone, but it is still THE place for community. More so than Twitter and Instagram. The Facebook Group features are amazing for connecting others.

I notice more and more people posting questions on our Gluten Free Edmonton Facebook page. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't care for that, so it doesn't highlight other peoples posts unless I share it, because at the end of the day Facebook really just wants ad dollars to boost a post shared by a Page.

Which brings us to groups! A place where everyone can post and be heard. A place where each person can set their notifications and not miss a thing. A place to share with a us an amazing gluten free product they found, or ask a question about where to find a product. A place where we can can interact with everyone in different ways. I place where we can just simply help someone in our community that just needs a helping hand.

There are so many awesome things that can be done with a Facebook Group. I'm just starting with the basics and will see where it goes.

It took us a while to try this recipe. We usually make pulled pork, or a shredded BBQ chicken. But never a shredded beef. But the recipe from America's Test Kitchen turned out to be delicious. We froze leftovers in two packages (it made a lot!)

The recipe is a slow cooker recipe, that could probably be adapted to for the instant pot. There is a lot of prep for this recipe. So if you are going to run the slow cooker during the day while at work, I suggest doing some of the prep the night before.
